M1A Socom 16

[AKguy1985]

I just saw a guy pick a brand new one up for $790 at the Tinker BX gunshop. He even asked me if I saw that price, too, to make sure we weren't seeing things.

I wonder if it was a consignment?

I think if I were going for a shortened M14 style rifle I'd be very tempted by LRB's M25 Tanker (fifth rifle down).

I used to own something very similar to that. I liked mine, but traded it off for something that I wanted more.

Sure it wasn't a Mini-14?

There's no way that was the retail price for a SOCOM 16, unless they just mismarked it.

Nope, it was the real deal. If they mismarked it, that guy was super lucky.

BNIB, I've never seen the BX gunshop do consignment. Not like you can bring in your gun anyway.

He should have bought three.

He should have bought three.

The display was the last one.

Whatever feels right to you when you are shooting is what you should get. If I recall, the velocity loss on a 16" v. 18" barrel in .308 is around 100fps. I happened to like the 18" better than the 16" and ended up with a Springfield Armory Scout. I have an EOTech and a Bradley Cheek Rest on it .... HIGHLY recommend the Bradley. Great company to work with and a SOLID product.

Here is another shot ... possibly better one of my rifle.
